Notes

Store any leftovers of this cheesy chicken spinach bake by allowing it to cool down to room temperature first, then transfer it to an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare boneless skinless chicken breasts by cutting them lengthwise, but not all the way through. Open them up, place between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them to an even thickness.

3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place two slices of mozzarella cheese on one side of each chicken breast. Top the mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes, followed by a layer of fresh spinach.
Filling: spinach, mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes added to one side of the seasoned chicken breasts.
